00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,080
This is Hacker Public Radio episode 3,917 for Tuesday the 8th of August 2023.

2
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:20,200
Today's show is entitled, Response to Permission tickets by ONF Spones.

3
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,720
It is hosted by D&T and is about 7 minutes long.

4
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,320
It carries a clean flag.

5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:33,240
The summary is, hopefully a useful provocation and response to a recent intriguing show

6
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:40,440
by another HPR host.

7
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,640
Hello and welcome to another exciting episode of Hacker Public Radio.

8
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:51,840
This here is a response to 3909 called Permission tickets by ONF Spones.

9
00:00:51,920 --> 00:01:00,240
This was a really good show, very well written, not too long, and one of Spones says

10
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:08,240
it's a preview show for some future self-referential tangle of cryptographic distraction,

11
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,640
which sounds great.

12
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:16,480
I just wanted to, I was typing a comment and then it was kind of getting long, so I decided

13
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:24,400
to record a response show and then you may notice that I was on Hacker Public Radio just

14
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:32,000
a couple of days ago in tomorrow or something I would be on it again, and that was because

15
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,960
I had a scheduled show and then one show came out of the reserve queue and then I'm posting

16
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:40,800
this as a response show and I'll talk a little more about that later.

17
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:48,160
Anyway, so the show by ONF Spones was very good, very interesting stuff.

18
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:53,600
I really recommend you listen to it and it's very much in line with the previous shows by

19
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:54,880
that host.

20
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:02,000
It's always been at this kind of standard and I wanted to talk about just one part of what

21
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,960
he's talking about here and that is, for example at the end here I'm looking at the whisper

22
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,000
transcription. It says, so as a disclaimer, if it wasn't clear at the beginning, if you recognize

23
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,800
that someone who exchanges a bunch of money for a bunch of cryptographic tokens is essentially

24
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,640
holding next to nothing at all, then you are halfway to recognizing that someone hold

25
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:28,000
who holds a bunch of money is holding next to nothing at all.

26
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,680
What they need is to convince somebody to exchange or to swap for the permission tickets which

27
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:41,360
they have acquired in quote, that's very good too many crypto fans don't recognize even that,

28
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,320
but I would like to point out here that there is actually one very important difference between

29
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:55,920
these crypto currencies and state-backed currencies and that is that within that state, it is legal

30
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:05,200
tender in one of the primary ways in which this manifests is that the state accepts it as

31
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:13,920
for tax payment. So that's kind of the number one thing that gives state-backed money, it's value,

32
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:19,520
right? It's not just that people will accept it and this seems to be something that a lot of the

33
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:30,400
crypto fans don't seem to remember. So the thing about that is that we seem to in the 21st century

34
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:38,240
to be kind of in the habit of destroying things that we already had and then just rebuilding them

35
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:45,040
in a less good form and then we're just stuck with this downgraded form of the thing that we actually

36
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,080
already had. We just didn't realize that we were just rebuilding the same thing,

37
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:57,600
only not as good as the one that we had before, right? This happens, I think I'm going to put in the show

38
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:07,520
notes this episode of the Harper's podcast where they discussed the writers strike here in the

39
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:15,440
United States, the Hollywood writers strike and they kind of touched on the idea that, you know,

40
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:23,040
these streaming services, they kind of destroyed the traditional TV industry in the US based in Hollywood

41
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:29,200
and they really didn't actually make anything new. They were simply allowed by the state

42
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:35,840
to destroy the industry that already existed and they just basically dominated it and replaced it

43
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,760
with an industry that's just much less equitable and according to the person that was being interviewed

44
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:49,360
on that podcast, this is now reflected in this strike. So I think we should be wary of situations

45
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:55,200
in which we make, we kind of fool ourselves into thinking that we're innovating, we're building

46
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:01,920
this new thing but really we're just replacing you with within inferior version of something that we

47
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,120
already had, not because the thing that we already had was necessarily good but just because we

48
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:16,080
suffer from a pretty overwhelming lack of imagination. All right, so that was my comment on the show

49
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:23,200
by one of spoons and before I posted this, I went on Matrix on the Matrix channel and I raised

50
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:30,080
this idea because I already had shows on the calendar so we try to stick to only one show every

51
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:36,800
two weeks so that nobody can kind of dominate the main feed but I kind of raised the idea that

52
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:42,160
maybe response shows should be exempt from that because it's kind of nice for you to appear in the

53
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,080
in the main feed pretty close to the show you're responding to and also maybe that's a good

54
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:57,200
way to fill slots you know to we have the reserve queue when there's an unclaimed slot very close

55
00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:06,640
to the date it's supposed to air so maybe another decent way for hosts to fill slots is to

56
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:14,000
record a response show like the one I just did. Also personally I'm a fan of these of conversations

57
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:22,320
and this can be kind of like a play by male conversation where each participant in the conversation

58
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:32,560
will only speak after several days so with this I invite one of spoons to write to post a comment

59
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:41,440
on my comment or just post that upcoming show about the the tango of cryptographic something or

60
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:48,800
other so that could also be a good way for a new host to post their first show you know if you have

61
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,960
a comment about a show or thoughts about a show which undoubtedly you do from time to time

62
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:02,640
maybe it can be a kind of a simple way to post your first show by sort of remixing or

63
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:10,480
starting from somebody else's show and what did you think about that? I think I would like to hear it

64
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:17,680
hopefully this was useful thanks again to one of spoons for the show I'm looking for a

65
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:25,840
that was very good very well done thank you and now please come back tomorrow for another exciting
